Golly. I don't pass any at all. I suppose the nearest is 11 miles or so away. I mainly pass cows.

10ish miles, one Greasy Mac.
I made the mistake of stopping there one day because Amazon had been sending me a bunch of coupons for free chicken biscuits and sandwiches. It sucked, I threw it away after one bite.

hmm
Let me think. I absolutely detest their food.
28 miles each way and I pass 1. Either that or I simply ignore the big M. Give me Wendys instead.

There is one just down the street from me, so no matter where I go I always pass at least 1.

The city I live in has one.
The city I ride work in has one.
So that would be two.

None whatsoever, though we do have an old fashioned fish and chip shop down the township.

30 mile typical round trip, pass by 1 McD on the way to work and 1 on the way home in a large suburban area. McD doesn't thrive around here cause the "In N Out Burger" joint gets way more business than McD and all the other 7 or 8 fast food joints combined in my town.
